I have the MP5 play all 4G and I can not find a web site or any information so I can put more games or any thing else I want to on this MP5.

It has a basic text reader. So, you can put e-books in .txt format onto it and read them. You can change the text size and color and save your place but you can't change the font type.

From what I've read, I don't believe you can add new games. The only supported game is the one that comes preloaded, which is a tile puzzle game where you move the tiles around to complete the puzzle.

I use my mp3 exclusively for audiobooks. I'm a real junkie and listen nonstop all day when I'm not at work. The first one I bought was a Zen V. It had issues, but improved when Creative came out with new firmware. After using it for a year, the battery would no longer hold a charge. There was no way to replace the battery. So I decided to look for a player with a user-replaceable battery and bought a Zen Micro. It worked fine for a few weeks, then it broke and Creative said they could not repair it. I decided the battery was more of an issue than the bookmarking, so I bought a Sansa e250 v2. I've had it for about a month and it's great. Better than either of the Creative players. But it doesn't have bookmarking. Rockbox wizards are working on a new version that will work with the Sansa e250v2, so I'm hoping that will give it bookmarking capability. The resume playing works really well with the Sansa (unlike with the 2 creative players). Since I only listen to one book at a time and don't listen to music, the only time bookmarking is really an issue is when I transfer or delete books when the player is connected to my PC. (I have a Gomadic wall charger to recharge the battery at night.) I'm really not sure about the full time stamping. My library changed from netLibrary to Overdrive. Overdrive breaks audiobooks into multiple files instead of having one really large file like NetLibrary, so that hasn't been an issue. In 2006 a survey showed that 25% of the adult US population listens to audiobooks. It's really stupid that mp3 manufacturers continue to ignore our needs when the technology and software already exists to provide every player with full time stamping and bookmarking. If just one of them would come out with a reliable player with a user-replaceable battery and those features, they would probably rival iPOD overnight. If Sansa would respond with a firmware update to provide those features, the e200 series could be that player. Instead, they foolishly continue to ignore the pleas of audiobook listeners.

Most any MP3 player will work for books. A couple of things you may want to consider --- Where do you plan on downloading your books from? Many libraries have services where you can "check out" downloadable media and listen to books for free. Unfortunately, most of these services DON'T work with Ipods or Zunes. If you plan on using one of these services, check their website for compatibility. I also primarily listen to books on my MP3 player. I had an Ipod Nano (my daughter accidentally lost it!) and it was my favorite. I really miss it and keep trying to convince myself to splurge and buy another. My son has a Creative Zen and it also works well for audiobooks. Some of the lower end, cheaper units are designed primarily for music. With these, it's hard to access a specific track. So, for instance if you're on chapter 20 of a book and accidentally lose your place, then you have to "click" through 20 chapters to get back to where you were. On the better units like the Ipods and the Zen, you can go right to it. (for instance, sometimes I forget to turn the player off when I turn the car off and it's hours ahed of me) If you ever listen to more than one book at a time, make sure it has a bookmark feature. Otherwise you'll lose your place in book 1 when you switch to book 2 and back.

You are wrong about the larger ipods not being ale to play books from sources other than Apple. I get two or three books a month from audible and they work great on my 60g ipod. The bookmarks work and I have no trouble at all. I have 69 books (including Atlas Shrugged at 55 hrs and The Fountainhead) and every album my wife and I own and haven't hit 15 gig yet.

***Copied and pasted my response to a similiar question*** Hi Janice, or in this case jloveforever4 The bookworm within me squeals with joy because I really love Vtech's V.Reader :) To answer your question...The e-reader on the Innotab does not compare to what the V.Reader offers. As you stated the V.Reader books (cartridges) come with games built in to help reinforce reading skills. This is not the case with the Innotab. The books available on the cartridge games are just the e-book. The stories are animated and include a dictionary but no games. The Innotab's e-reader does have educational value cause it will read the book to your child and define words, however I could do that myself. The skills my son learns through the games (at least for me) are what give the V.Reader value. Vtech has updated their V.Reader, so when looking to purchase one you will see that most retailers still have the old one available. You can tell the difference between the two because the new one has a raised keyboard (soft buttons) versus the old one which has a touch screen keyboard. The new one includes a photo viewer/video player, a mediocre art studio, and an app to practice writing so it may be something worth checking out (I have the old one). If reading is what your looking for the V.Reader is the better device, and with all those upgrades you will still have it all in one (minus the mp3). The titles available for this device are great and we use ours right before bedtime. It's a great way to spend extra time with my little guy! Hope that helped.

The readme file isn't clear (at least to me) that this is about building on the fly playlists with just the mp3 player. The way I read it this is about building playlists without using WMP on your computer and then transferring them to the player...am I missing something?

Joy, I just tried to see if I could get the e-books on my older Kindle Paperwhite e-reader to come up and it didn't. That doesn't exactly mean it won't. Best to either call the company or just purchase a laptop that does support it. I know my larger heavier laptop does. Sorry I couldn't of been more help.

MusicLvr, The Kindle is not a computer, it's an ebook reader, so don't expect it to do what the Aspire does. The reason you see the poor reviews is that about the only people to report back are the ones with problems. I've had my Kindle since October and absolutely love it. I currently have about 250 book on it. If you really want to research the Kindle, may I recommend that you visit: http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php - it will open your eyes. Can you download books on an Aspire One, the same as Kindle? - Yes and no. The Kindle uses a proprietary file format that cannot be opened by Windows, so you will not be able to buy Amazon books and read them on the Aspire. However, there are thousands of books available elsewhere in other formats (txt, doc, pdf, prc, mobi, etc.) that you can download to your computer (many of them for free) and read. If you look around, you can probably find a free ebook reader for your computer for those formats that Windows doesn't open itself (prc, mobi, and mayby a few others), but you won't (at least at this time) find one to open the Amazon books. So, here's the thing - the Aspire is a Windows computer. It will open and let you read any file it recognizes. The Kindle is NOT a computer - it's a reader; it doesn't use Windows. Check out the above website - you can ask all of the questions you want and you'll probably get better and maybe more accurate answers.

Hi! I have one of these, and while I love it (huge screen, great battery life, totally customizable file organization, best markup/annotation capabilities of any E-Ink reader), it can't read Amazon format ebooks (.azw format) and can't be used to access the Amazon ebook store app that comes on Kindles. It does (technically) have wifi capabilities that could be used to get to the amazon mobile site, but the wifi is unreliable at best and sometimes causes the device to crash.

Ours came with a small "Let's Play Tag" book with some samples of how to use it. I believe you can also get packages that include books with it. For many weeks it was the only book that our son could use it with because our reader wouldn't connect to our computer (they do not know why and have no desire to troubleshoot or try to fix the problem, their solution is to try a new computer or send you a "preloaded" device with a few titles that you pick). However our TAG reader that we were sent ("preloaded" with a few books since we couldn't download any books) won't read the initial book...

You cannot, and it was for this exact reason that I returned mine. I slipped in a 16 GB microdisc which it would not read, and after wasting a lot of time I was told that it does have this problem and it is not even a full Android OS. When I told all of this to Amazon they apologized and took it off their list of tablets. You probably got yours before all of this. It is not the best tablet on the block. I got a Samsung Galaxy Tab3 which is much more practical even though it has only 8 GB of memore, but when you slip in a 16 GB microdisc it reads it easily, just like a laptop.

I am not sure what you are asking but I would not buy this product. It crapped out on me after a month then started working again but ultimately died for good a month after that. So I spent $43 for 2 months of off and on music listening. I now have a TRIO Stealth 4.3" internet tablet and it works way better for only a little more money plus it has WiFi and can be purchaced at a local Best Buy. If you are thinking about purchasing this product from EProBiz, don't. They are a horrible company and I am still trying to contact them to return the item in question and they won't return my emails. I hope that this helps.

Sorry Melody, I can't answer your question ... I have a kindle fire, so I just put all my books on that. We just got the other android tablets for our granddaughters to play on and they enjoy that.

There is a program called UKtube which allows you to watch youtube videos on this tablet. http://maemo.org/downloads/product/ukmp If your son is a bit geeky then he will love this tablet. It has quite a lot of online software developed by other users. http://konttoristhoughts.blogspot.com/2007/08/ukmp-151-combined-with-updated-uktube.html. Looks like the Nokia 800 is cheaper online now than you can get this one here, so I'd check that out. It is the successor to this tablet and I understand has improvements including it can play youtube out of the box.

We have an ipod nano 2gb model, and also the ipod classic 80 gb model. We have loaded audio books on both. The 80 gb works best because it can hold more. We subscribe to audible.com and download our books from them. They download and transfer right into itunes, easy as can be. Our Ipod classic has over 100 books, plus some music, on it and there's still lots of room left. Audible.com has ten of thousands of books including bestsellers, non-fiction, radio shows, and podcasts. I've subscribed for over 5 years I think, and I've never been disappointed.

Yes, up to 32gb micro SD is acceptable. You need to download a media player app to play your songs, though. The stock apps weren't playing the files when I first tried it. If you are in the market for a great tablet this is the one. It is extremely well made, reliable and a bargain. It's successor the xyboard had no expansion of memory via SD card. Made no sense. Buy one you will love it. Get back to me for anymore questions. I own two, have the keyboard and speaker dock, too.

While Audible.com cost money, I bought this player (over IPod knowing an IPod is *FAR* superior) because the library near me allows free viewing only if the device supports Windows PlaysForSure media format.Translation: If you buy an IPod the device is great but the books are costly. If you buy this, the device is OK, but the books are *free*.
